The Bannon Flick Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Nice move by the club - well deserved for a true Hearts man that wears his heart on his sleeve. Great player on his day, unfortunately we'll never truly find out just how good he could have gone on to be if it wasn't for that horrific injury. I really hope he gets a great turn out when the testimonial match comes around. I remember watching the highlights of a Hearts win at Pitoddrie in the 90's on Sportscene, the camera panned round the jubilant Hearts support at full time, all giving the Hearts song laldy..... right in the middle of them with scarf above the head, was Gary Locke who had been out injured - but chose to go in the away end rather than in the main stand with the other squad members and officials.

doctor jambo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Delighted for him, well deserved. could play against a “Hibs players you have beaten team” but sadly Tynecastle only hold 20000, so some would miss out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bannon Flick Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) The club should approach Hibs for the testimonial match - that would be a guaranteed win for Lockie 🙂 Edited October 18, 2021 by The Bannon Flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hogfather Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Can't think of many ex-players who deserve recognition more than Lockie.

Gillsland jack Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm sure he was still in the dug out for the hilarious relegation party by the Hobo's, a special derby day victory for the famous. Gary along with Scott Crabbe are the two players that I can recall, who played and celebrated like die hard supporters, was always a joy to witness a goal from either of them.

loveofthegame Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Mr Hearts- genuinely delighted by this. While most hero worshipped Robbo, as a young lad Lockey was my hero. I was 7 or 8 when he broke into the team and he was genuinely unbelievably good- sky was the absolute limit if he hadn’t suffered those knee injuries. watching a hearts diehard play for hearts made me dream as a kid- I had to settle for watching from the stands tho… I remember standing next to him in Robbos after we beat Gretna in 2006 both just belting out the Hearts song. He’s very much one of us. And let’s not forget, club captain by age 20/21, led the team on the park for majority of 97/98 season and throughout off the park in a team of big names, carried the respect of all (mostly far more experienced pros) and played a big part in one of top two seasons in my lifetime. Then played a huge part in our greatest day of all in 2012. I can’t think of many who deserve it more. If we’re only awarding testimonials to those who stick around the traditional full 10 years as a player then we won’t see many testimonials ever again. on yersel lockey. PHM.
